If your family aren't technical types, for instance, you don't have to worry about them messing with low-level antivirus settings, because the client doesn't have any. If there's a problem, they can contact you, and you're able to log on and make whatever tweaks you need within a couple of minutes.
The Sophos Settings pages open at the Protection tab, where there are tools to schedule scans and exclude particular drives, files and folders from checks.Īdvanced options include the ability to enable or disable multiple techniques used by Sophos to block common exploits.
There's specific exploit protection for browsers, browser plugins, Java and more prevention of privilege escalation, code cave utilization and APC violations and further layers to fool sandbox-aware malware, prevent backdoor traffic, protect against DLL hijacking, and more.
These lists are interesting, and it's good to see Sophos covering so many common attack vectors.
